Even the tools in this section may provide information that’s difficult to understand for the first-time user. But if you take some time to explore them and utilize our tips for each, you should be able to find a great award redemption without spending hours searching for it. Of course, there’s the obvious. The first place to look for award space is on the website of the airline whose miles you’re trying to redeem. It’s always free to search that way, the results are straightforward and typically easy to comprehend, and the airline itself is going to be the most definitive source of what flights are available. The downside is that airlines don’t go out of their way to tell you the best deal you’ll find with points, and the information isn’t always shared in the most helpful way. Still, it’s a good place to start before you move on to one of these other tools. point.me - point.me - PointsYeah - It’s not as polished or user-friendly as point.me, but PointsYeah has two distinct advantages that can be useful for beginners. First, PointsYeah provides unlimited award searches for free. You can get some expanded features with a paid premium subscription, but for most beginners, the free version will be more than enough. PointsYeah also advertises that its real-time searches return results in 10 seconds or less on average, which makes it significantly faster than point.me (though PointsYeah currently only covers 20 airline programs versus point.me’s roster of 30+ programs). The other advantage of PointsYeah is its ability to search for awards on more than one date at a time, which can be extremely useful if you have some flexibility in your travel plans. The free version of PointsYeah can search across a three-day window, while the premium version expands that out to seven days. But for most people just trying to use their points, three days is plenty.
